I previously published this a few years ago and with new people visiting the site thought it would be a good idea to bring it back around. – Rourke
There’s no such thing as a handgun that is best for women. Everyone regardless of gender has strengths, weaknesses, and preferences. The old adage….“Just get her a revolver” is both an insult and dangerous. Far too often a woman walks into a gun shop with very little experience and is sold a revolver. I understand the concept, however, every owner of a gun should practice and train so they are capable – no matter the gender. Most women(and men) are perfectly capable of shooting Glocks, 1911’s, Sheilds, etc.
So, why not treat a woman as a shooter rather than an incapable victim? The reason might be as simple as people are resistant to change. Come on guys, how many of us have dreamed of being the hero and saving the damsel in distress? To believe that women are just as capable of defending themselves may play physiological chess with your manhood, but it doesn’t change the fact that they are.
The video below shows a competitive 13-year-old girl demonstrating that almost anyone with sufficient training can be very capable and proficient.
Now that I’ve stirred a hornet’s nest…bring it!
